Convention Program Chair’s

WelcomeYour Creation Campus

Over the almost 10 years that Iʼve been part of BEA, Iʼve always thought the convention program chair had an interesting and challenging “job”—put an entire convention schedule together, keep everyone happy, ensure that various policies were followed, and then make sure nothing went wrong.

The “pay” and the “perks,” so I thought, had to make up for any and all headaches that came with the gig. Man, was I naïve. The job is much more than all of those things mentioned above, and Iʼve enjoyed every minute of this role that I took on one year ago.

My thanks to the BEA Board of Directors and BEA Staff for their on-going support through this planning process. And thanks to BEA executive director Heather Birks for her advice, encouragement and friendship. Two years ago, we envisioned a new research presentation concept—Rapid-Fire Research, which is now in its second year on the schedule and will be a rich part of BEA̓ s future. Later, when I approached her about the “Ethics and...” programming idea for the 2009 convention, she embraced it and became its biggest advocate. In the past year, Iʼve come to appreciate even more what a fantastic leader she is. BEA is in wonderful hands.

My thanks also to our 17 division leaders for the terrific ideas they shepherded, offered and refined. Iʼve said to many people over the past 12 months that the success all of us enjoy over the next three days is a testament to the leaders and members of our 17 divisions.

My thanks also to everyone who is attending the convention in this difficult economic time. Our departments, schools and colleges are making various cutbacks and faculty travel is among the items on the chopping block. However, you have demonstrated the importance that BEA has for you professionally and personally by being here.

Finally, my thanks to my fantastic acting dean, Helen Fallon, and my Point Park colleagues for always being there when I find myself somewhere else! This week is just the latest stretch of days in which Iʼve needed them to cover my classes or otherwise be me. I work with a great group of people, and I hope they know how much I appreciate their support.

“Ethics and...” has been interpreted in many ways, and thatʼs exactly what I was hoping would happen. I strongly encourage you to see how the discussions about “Ethics and...” evolve in many of our panels and papers this week. Some of those ideas youʼll bring back to your classes; other ideas will spur a research project. Thatʼs excellent. Most importantly if we appreciate that ethics underscores what we do as educators and what industry professionals do as communicators, then the 2009 convention will be a success.

Something new in this yearʼs program you are now holding is your ability to more easily see some of our most interesting sessions. Pay attention to the “spotlight” sessions and paper sessions. And, of course, avail yourself of the division meetings that are relevant to you.

I wish you an enjoyable and successful 2009 BEA convention.

The Review ProcessWorking with the Festival Chair, Festival Committee and the Competition Chairs, the Review Board serves much like an Editorial Board would for a scholarly, refereed journal. The Review Board constitutes a large group of nationally recognized professionals and professors, who are organized into panels, which assist in judging individual full time faculty entries in specific categories. This blind review focuses on the following criteria: professionalism, the use of aesthetic and/or creative elements, sense of structure and timing, production values, technical merit and overall contributions to the discipline in both form and substance. The Festival Committee targets an award acceptance rate of twenty-percent for full-time faculty submissions.

9:00 AM – 10:15 AMInnovation And Technology Management (Session ID: 34)N238[Management, Marketing & Programming]Today, innovation is about much more than developing new products. It is about reinventing business and organizational processes and building entirely new markets to meet untapped customer needs. Innovation is also about taking organizations built for efficiency and rewiring them for creativity and growth. Innovation is important because it creates a long-term lasting advantage for an organization. It allows a business to develop and improve on its existing product line as well as preparing the ground work for the future. This panel session will examine the importance of innovation (and innovative thinking) to the long term success of todayʼs business and nonprofit companies. Specifically, it will address two important questions. First, who are todayʼs innovative leaders in the field of media and telecommunications. Second, what are some of the best strategies being employed by some of these same companies for initiating and sustaining long term innovation. Special attention will be given to case study analysis.

5:15 PM – 6:30 PMExporting American Education: US Universities Open Middle Eastern Campuses (Session ID: 66)N240[International]US colleges and universities are broadening their institutionʼs borders and opening campuses in Middle Eastern countries. Some of these institutions offer journalism programs in countries better known for their overt censorship of the media.

This panel will discuss the advantages, challenges, applications and implications of opening US university campuses abroad. Panelists will discuss what it means to the universities involved and to journalism education in general.

9:00 AM – 10:15 AMEthics of Off-Campus Production Experience (Session ID: 188)N237[Production Aesthetics & Criticism]There are obvious advantages to providing students off-campus production experiences. However students and faculty face logistical and, even more daunting, ethical issues in such experiences, whether for a class or a client. This panel focuses on those ethical issues including the challenge of producing work for clients who have their own agendas, subject/interviewee driven issues in student-produced documentaries, and the manipulation of subject matter through student editing.

9:00 AM – 10:15 AMWin, Win, Win: Cause-Related Marketing at Television and Radio Stations (Session ID: 128)N238[Management, Marketing & Programming]Studies show most Americans believe companies should have a positive impact on the environment and our communities. Accordingly, many businesses have turned to cause-related marketing, promising to donate money or other types of support to a nonprofit organization when a customer buys or uses the brand. Today, many broadcast stations are seeking nontraditional revenue (NTR) and goodwill through cause-related marketing, resulting in a potential win-win-win situation for broadcasters, event sponsors and benefactor organizations.Moderator: Wenmouth Williams, Ithaca College Panelists: Scott Hamula, Ithaca College, Win-Win-Win: When Baseball and Radio Team Up to Promote a Cause Wendy Shelton, Local Sales Manager, KVBC-TV Mary Moran, Sales Services Manager, KVBC-TV Brandy Newman, Vice President, Market Manager, Clear Channel Radio Robert McCoy, Director of Public Affairs, EMBARQ Corporation Karen Iglesias, President, Make-a-Wish Foundation of Southern Nevada

9:00 AM – 10:15 AMHow DO You Teach Directing? A Discussion & Best Practices (Session ID: 293)N239[Writing | PAC]Good directors do not spring full-grown from the head of Hitchcock (or even, Spielberg or Tarantino for that matter!). Still, everyone wants to direct. But too often courses on directing (& textbooks too) delve into the intricacies and “secrets” of the actorʼs psyche hoping students will comprehend everything there is to know about acting and actors and somehow be able to director. Or, still other courses (& their corresponding textbooks) take a technical approach focusing on cameras, lenses, depth of field, framing, sequences, film stock, lighting and other technical issues under the assumption that all this technical information will instantly transform students into directors. Then the “reality” of directing bites. Some students “lock-up,” implode (or explode!) and directing projects are stalled or never get completed and youʼre left wondering if directing really can be taught... So, how DO you teach students to become good directors? To develop their voice, to pull the strongest elements together to tell a story, to navigate the shoals of budgets, egos and tempers. The assembled panelists will reflect on their philosophy of directing and discuss some “best practices” for teaching directing in the classroom &/or in the field.Moderator: Michael R. Ogden, Central Washington University Panelists: Chandra Clark, University of Alabama, Working with Producers, Budgets and Schedules Anthony Friedmann, Sam Houston State University, Breaking Down a Scene: The Essence of Teaching Directing Technique Rustin Greene, James Madison University, Managing the Set and Getting What You Want Fred G.

9:00 AM – 10:15 AMInternational Production Collaborations: Learning Across Borders (Session ID: 59)N251[International]Several universities around the world have established exchange programs in which students work in their own countries on video productions with a particular theme. The students and their advisers then travel, with their videos, to a university in another country. Students share their video productions with each other and then take the opportunity to work on a themed video together. Chulankorn University in Thailand has, for several years, collaborated on such an international video production exchange with Universities in Japan and the Philippines . The University of Hawaiiʼs relatively new Academy for Creative Media has recently begun a similar production exchange with a University in Shanghai. The University of La Verne, in California, is exploring two different video exchange programs with the University of Northampton in the United Kingdom and with Universidad Ibero Americano in Mexico. The first group of Mexican student will be visiting Los Angeles in the upcoming academic year. Universidad Ibero Americano is also beginning production exchanges with Universities in South Korea.

This is what makes radio uniquely powerful, and points the way to a bright future.

12:00 PM – 1:15 PMSports Division Meeting (Session ID: 251)N234[Sports]The Sports Divisionʼs goals are to address needs of BEA members in teaching courses related to sports media. For a long time sports wore the tag of the “toy store.” No serious study of the media could include a look at sports. But, times have changed. Academics as well as non-academics have seen that, for better or worse, sports are an essential element of U.S. and worldwide culture. This has led to a surge in academic organizations that recognize and embrace sports as a legitimate intellectual pursuit. A number of academic journals have been developed all devoted to sports, and schools that have sports-related classes, and even majors, are growing in number as we speak.

1:30 PM – 2:45 PMCurriculum, Ethics and Athletics. (Session ID: 145)N234[Sports]Media production courses usually require a vast amount of teamwork specifically when working as a production crew in Multi-camera studio and remote situations. Colleges and Universities with NCAA division sports teams, inevitably travel in their required “seasons” thus missing many hands-on productions. Even project work is sometimes compromised when extensive shooting, editing, and planning are mandated. In this situation, deadlines are sometimes missed, and participation in group projects and crew rotations are “excused”. But at the end of the day, (or semester), are the athletes learning the same extensive knowledge and able to perform at their highest industry standard? Statistically the majority of Athletes have successful GPA standings, but ethically, we may feel that they are not receiving all of the benefits of the learning and “hands on” opportunities the average student would absorb. How can we be assured that we are fulfilling the obligation to achieve the same consistency and flow of curriculum rubric and grading criteria equal to all?

Ball State Universityʼs latest immersive-learning experience faced that issue when twelve students and four faculty members embarked on an immersive sports experience. Producing packages and remote productions focusing on university sports teams requires cooperation between the athletic department and student media. But where does that cooperation end? Or, does it? Can these two entities operate independently while still representing the same university? This panel explores these concepts and introduces first-hand knowledge and experience.

Today, journalism and corporate sites utilize content management systems where anyone can create and edit pages that donʼt need to be uploaded and where no knowledge of HTML or technical proficiency is required. This places proper emphasis on content over technology. Creating and managing web audio and video content is another challenge. Proprietary content management systems are expensive. However, a number of free or low-cost solutions exist using such tools as Drupal, Joomla!, WordPress and Wikis. Many of these tools are in use among journalism sites and in colleges and universities. Panelists will talk about their solutions to the problem of content management and illustrate how they use these low-cost tools to generate and manage collaborative content for the web.

12:00 PM – 1:15 PMThe Dilemma of Embedded Promotions in Broadcast News (Session ID: 300)N237[News]Commercial product placement and paid sponsored segments are creating myriad ethical dilemmas in todayʼs TV/radio newsrooms. News programs also promote themselves as entertainment vehicles. Viral marketing methods are seeping into the news world as well with social media and “push” technologies used to distribute newsworthy information along with cloaked advertiser messages. This panel explores the multiple methods, causes and consequences of this blurring of boundaries between product promotion and news. It addresses how advertisers seek non-traditional promotions to escape the “mute” or “skip” button on the nationʼs collective remote control; how shrinking revenue streams influence what and how stories air; and the media mix news consumers now demand. These phenomena are debated against the challenging ethical minefield that is news in the public sphere.Moderator: Marianne Barrett, Arizona State University Panelists: Fran Matera, Arizona State University, Marketing/PR practitioners as media gatekeepers?
